205 West Allegheny Road, Imperial Pa 15126. The construction of the
current High School building began in 1961 and opened to students in
1962. The academic sections of the building are two stories in height
with common areas on the ground level. Renovations in 1972 added a
classroom wing, a swimming pool and increased the cafeteria/kitchen
areas. In 1992 more classrooms were added along with extensive
renovations to the facility, and in 1999 a new 2,000-seat, two-story
gymnasium, a music classroom, an expansion to the cafeteria, and an
academic classroom wing (including a video studio) were added. As part
of that project, the library was moved to the old gym area, a new chorus
room was created, and the old library space was converted into
classrooms. The kitchen was remodeled incorporating a food-court design
in 2006. In 2007 artificial turf was installed in the stadium in
addition to other improvements to the stadium grounds. A $26 million
two-year project began in 2008 to add a two-story, 22-classroom wing and
a two-story locker room/offices/two-classroom addition to the gym. This
project also provided for the expansion of the auditorium. An increase
in capacity just shy of 1,000 seats was realized by utilizing a new
balcony and mezzanine seating area. The project also included relocation
and expansion of the tennis court area on the campus and extensive
renovations to the rest of the building and its mechanical systems. In
addition to the stadium, which has a capacity of approximately 4,000 and
includes a press box, scoreboard and concession stand, the campus also
includes a softball field, a multipurpose field, a football practice
field, four tennis courts and an outdoor classroom. There is on-site
parking for approximately 500 cars, including a lot with approximately
200 spaces for student parking. This latest renovation project was
completed in 2010 and will allow the district to accommodate the
expected increase in enrollment over the next ten years.
